Sold my first new boat!!

[Mark Hofman]

...to my father-in-law!



Worked with him to select a new boat to replace the old "Redneck Bassboat" (Tracker Sportsman 16' jon w/ 25 h.p. tiller Mariner). He chose a 2004 ProTeam 185XT with the 90 2-stroke, but upgraded the trolling motor one power rating (54 lb from 42 lb?). Wise choice.



Sometime in the next week, we will be hard-wiring in a Garmin 176C GPS unit to the console. I helped him add a Garmin 240 LCD and trolling motor transducer identical to my set-up.



Now...where's my commission?

 

[Mark Hofman]

We broke it in on Table Rock Lake in March, and took it out crappie fishing in April at Lake of the Ozarks.

[Mark Hofman]

[Carl Meyer]

After I made the comment about the color photo, now I gotta add, did you actually know Grant? Just kidding, nice boat, too bad you didn't ge the commission.

 

[Mark Hofman]

Know him? Heck, who do you think SOLD him that farm?

 

[Staci Matheis]

[TrepMan]

Great deal for Dad-in-law!!



Trep

Bet that black though will burn your feet to a crisp in the hot summer. Bare aluminum is bad enough...looks great though

BTW Mo...Tell him to get that Sharkhide on there before oxidation sets in....it's a whole lot easier when it's new and he's got a whole lot less to polish too

 

[Mark Hofman]

TEE, how or where (again) do I get Sharkhide? You're right. He should do that before he takes the boat out again.

 

[TOMMY RICH]

Go to Sharkhide.com for info. One quart will probably cover it twice with some left over. If you need procedure instructions..I can e-mail them to ya'
